Ah, how many times have I whined in my blog about that? Yesterday I read something about priorities, so I listed out mine, along with the mini-drama attached to each. For example, the surfaces in my home. There does not seem to be a single surface in my home that is clear and or organized.... Continue Reading →
Flipping the Script
I read a TikTok tonight that asked, "What sentence destroyed you but you acted like it didn't hurt you?" And after reading some of the comments, I then went down my own personal rabbit hole. But then I realized two things. First, I immediately relived each of those hurtful moments to the point of tears.... Continue Reading →
My First Video Story – Ding, Dong, Ditch
I posted my first-ever video story on YouTube this morning. This has been a work-in-progress and is kind of scary. It's like I'm introducing one of my babies to the world, and not everyone is going to think it's as "cute" as I do. Here's hoping for a positive reception to my first effort!!! https://youtu.be/HDy9SsNO30E
Experimenting With Watercolors
I have a huge bin of art supplies. It has so many different mediums that it has sat in the corner, gathering dust while I decided which one to start with. We're talking several years of collecting and storage here, but yesterday I finally got out the watercolor paints. I have watched video after video... Continue Reading →
At the Hairdresser’s (not really)
Hubbin is coloring my hair at home - for the record, he does a great job at applying color, and I'm reacting as if he's my hairdresser, one I've not seen in ages. "So, here's what's been going on since the last time I sat in your chair," I remark. He laughs but I'm more... Continue Reading →
Helping Hands
I have been helping out whenever needed, and most recently, I helped out family, but injured my back (and tail bone) in the process. This morning I sit here uncomfortably and feel like a slacker because I cannot help anyone due to having to recuperate. I am frustrated and whiney and thinking that I should... Continue Reading →
Creating a Story Time
My family and friends think I should create a story time. Ever get the fear of the unknown? I'm there today. The "What if's" are upon me, and the old voices of Negativity Past are sounding off. I've been published a few times now, but I still hear a teacher from seventh grade, in my... Continue Reading →
Finishing Projects
I have several projects that I've had on hold, and this week I am trying to finish some of them. I finally finished a macrame project last night, that I started this summer, from the wood that came from the large white oak tree that we cut down in our front yard. A half round... Continue Reading →
No Shortage of Story Ideas Here
I can write fiction about almost anything. Many times, it is my imagination running rampant and today I question why that is. I wonder if everyone's thought process are like mine? I can be making a beeline for the kitchen for another cup of coffee and see a shadow in my back yard. That will... Continue Reading →
From Writer to Cook in a Single Bound
I'm an early riser; Hubbin is a night owl. Yesterday morning, he came into my office to say good morning to me as I was working on my latest story and clicking away at my keyboard. He read over my shoulder for a moment as I tried to get the ideas from my head to... Continue Reading →
